Know that the life of the world is only play, and idle talk, and pageantry, and boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children; as the likeness of vegetation after rain, whereof the growth is pleasing to the husbandman, but afterward it drieth up and thou seest it turning yellow, then it becometh straw.
(Ketahuilah, bahwa sesungguhnya kehidupan dunia itu hanyalah permainan dan suatu yang melalaikan, perhiasan) sebagai perhiasan (dan bermegah-megahan antara kalian serta berbangga-bangga tentang banyaknya harta dan anak) artinya, menyibukkan diri di dalamnya.
